I had the opportunity recently to conduct an analysis of a Windows Vista system. I was unable to mount the operating system partition until I installed the ntfs-3g driver. I didn't hesitate because I was using a physical write blocker ( typically the ntfs-3g driver is for write support ).

Is the ntfs-3g driver installed on the latest version of CAINE?If not, will it be?

It's not a big deal to use Synaptic Package Manager or download other packages I need to install/update, but my list is growing.
